Is it normal to be paranoid of death?

My aunt died last year. I wasn't particularly close to her but it affected me real hard. Ever since, my life has never been the same.

I keep think it's going to be the last time I see one of my family members, like last week, when my dad left for a business trip for 3 days, I had a really bad feeling that it would be the last time I would see him and all the time he was gone, I was really scared for him..

I keep thinking about death and I keep thinking that I'm going to lose everything and everyone I love. I don't mean to, but it just pops into my head.

Also, the things I used to love, don't seem so important anymore. I used to hate being alone and but know, I hate being around people and stay in my room most of the time. I don't have any motivation for anything I used to love to do, like dancing and playing basketball. My friends aren't really that important anymore and they always act differently around me, like I'm really fragile when I don't talk or seem upset.

Is this normal or am I just being paranoid?? :/

    It is normal. I think most people fear death. You aren't at peace with urself yet. You haven't accomplished all the things you hope too. You're probably still very young. Try not to think about it.

    You sound very depressed. Seek treatment.

    I'm going through a similar situation right now. It started a few weeks ago except no one close to me has died but it's like my mind sort of triggerd it, this paranoid obession with death.

    I've lost intrest in the things I used to love and I hardly eat, even when I feel hungry because the thought makes me sick and I spend most of my time alone in my room, thinking about when I'm going to die.

    I've made some slight improvement in the last couple days by forcing myself to interact with people. But I know what you mean, things are just different now. You're not alone but you've got to keep your spirits up. I suggest getting counciling which I'm looking into right now for myself. Maybe it could help the both of us.
